Dionysius, Poets@Stones is held on the last Thursday of each month, from January through to November. Our featured Poets for this month are: • Pam Schindler • Christopher Boerdam • Caroline Moon Pam Schindler lives by the sea at Blackmans Bay, lutruwita/Tasmania. Her work has been published in Australian magazines and anthologies, and her second book, say, a river (Ginninderra, 2023), won the Tim Thorne Prize for Poetry in the 2025 Tasmanian Literary Awards. Her work has been shortlisted or commended in the Robert Gray Prize for Poetry, the W. B. Yeats Poetry Prize (Australia), and the Philip Bacon Ekphrasis Award. In May 2026 she travelled to Montegiovi, Italy for a La Baldi/Cultivate Arts Residency, with support from the Salamanca Arts Centre and the Australian Government Regional Arts Fund. Christopher Boerdam has been an English teacher in Queensland for just over twenty-five years. In his spare time, he enjoys studying literature and philosophy, focusing on the work of Jacques Lacan, Alain Badiou, and Slavoj Žižek. He completed his PhD studies on the work of Žižek through the University of Queensland in 2021. He has always enjoyed reading and writing poetry but has never been published and is very excited about sharing his poetry for the first time at Poets@Stones. Caroline Moon is an actor, teacher and multidisciplinary creative from Yurun Country on the Sunshine Coast. As an actor, she has appeared in film, television and musical theatre. Her creative practice has taken her internationally, including as a member of the infamous Tokyo Howlers, an expat performance group in Tokyo. Her visual art has been exhibited at the Ueno International Exhibition, and she was recently a featured poetry artist at Obsidian Bide, an independent art gallery. Poetry was Caroline’s first artistic love. She began writing at 11 and has never really stopped. She is currently working on her first book of poetry.
